WHY IT'S BEST TO GET YOUR HOME 'MARKET READY' BEFORE THE NEW YEAR

As it can take over four months for a sale to go through, if you’re looking to move in spring, you should aim to have your house on the market, as early as possible in the New Year.

Are you looking to move by spring? Ask us why it’s best to get ‘market ready’ before the New Year. The traditional advice is that from spring to early summer is the best time for buying and selling property. As the weather improves, houses and gardens look their best and people are more prepared to go out to viewings.

Many people will put any moving plans on hold during the winter, then resume their search for a new home after Christmas. Older buyers especially tend to wait “until the daffodils come up”. But getting your property on the market slightly before the busiest period will put you ahead of the competition.

As it can take over four months for a sale to go through, if you’re looking to move in spring, you should aim to have your house on the market, as early as possible in the New Year. The best time to sell is when the most people are actively looking to buy, and data from Rightmove shows traffic to their website booms from Boxing Day onwards, and remains high into the first two weeks of January.

First-time buyers and young couples in particular are likely to be looking to move during this winter period – “often prompted by one last Christmas at home being one too many”, according to independent property advice website The Advisory.

To get you into a position where you can move by spring, the first step is obtaining an up-to-date valuation of your property. We’re here to support you at every step of the selling journey, but let’s start at the beginning and get your valuation booked in.
